Good idea BAD MOVIE

What movie do you think had a good idea but it was a bad moive.
Like it could have been good if the movie was different.

This is a good idea for a thread!

Hmm im sure theres plenty of these but off the top of my head The mothman prophecies.
I was really excited to see this think how chilling it would of been, but instead it just dragged

Dreamcatcher

Had a great concept..........but with most of Stephen King's work in the past few years, fell very short.

The movie had low production value.......it looked like it was made for t.v. The ending sequence was anti-climactic.

Just as with Golden Years and The Langoliers..........King had a good concept, it just didn't translate to the big screen very well.

BUNNIES THATS WHAT I WAS THINKIN!!!

LOL

I've seen the Langoliers it was a cool idea but the characters were really dumb especially that little blind girl and the fat guy that kept saying "lets go have some food" god they're trapped in another time and all he could think of was food what an idiot

Also it was a good idea to do SW prequels but they suck

Hulk - Great Idea........terrible movie

Jeepers Creepers...good idea. Cool movie till they show the Jeepers 😖

I agree with The mothman prophecies...cool idea. Really cool but the movie failed.

This has nothing to do with DVD so moving to Movie discussion
moving--moved

I have to say...Streetfighter...It was a brilliant idea to make one...but it was a horrible movie! Oh and double dragon too.

Jurassic Park: Lost World

If they actually had just stuck with the book, it would have been a kick ass movie. Michael Crichton isn't a successful author for nothing. Most of the movies that are derived from his books always stray from it so badly that it ends of ruining the movie. Well, mostly for people who have read the book, like me.

Harry Potter. I love the books (read them about 7 times each) butthe movies are just terrible. Azkaban look okay, though, it's probably cuz it's a diffn't director

Velvet Goldmine. I still cannot work out why anything so well-acted, beautifully shot, and very well produced, could have ended up as such a mediocre film.

All great replys guys.

The Life Of David Gale

Awful stuff, the biggest dissapointment of 2003 for me.

I thought 'Unbreakable' was a great idea for a movie. Yet when I came to watch it I found it dull and boring. How they managed that with Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson I just don't know.

I think any Stephen King book-to-movie (or telemovies) were a good concept, but very few made the grade. I admit, I liked 'The Green mile,' 'The Stand' and both versions of 'the shining', but others just bored me after a time, 'thinner', 'it', 'the tommyknockers' ... need I say more?

Guess you've never seen "Dolores Claiborne" i suppose.
